How is that different from a regular provider assigning space
(a LIR in RIPE terms)? They just need to keep the RIR data current
for all their assignments, they are in no sense a mini RIR, that
is a different function.

As they are just renting out space that otherwise would have been
allocated to a LIR then they should operate as a LIR.
